Hi,
I noticed a bit of a problem in the web validator. The following page
does not trigger the desired error message:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<a href=http://validator.w3.org/>Test</a>
</body></html>
The key bit is the unquoted url in the anchor tag. I would have
expected the message "an attribute value must be a literal unless it
contains only name characters". Instead, it does not complain about
the opening tag's characters, and it uses the final slash to close the
anchor tag. Instead, I get a "end tag for element 'A' which is not
open" message.
I'm sorry that I don't have time to submit more than a bug report at
the moment; hopefully this will sufficiently interest someone else to
work on a patch.
Thanks for a great application!
